Sketchy

Heard many helicopters flying around last night as we were chillin' in the backyard. Went to the front and saw a ghetto bird swooping down in Happy Valley. Turned on the news and found out a police officer was shot....with an AK-47! I know it is much safer here up on the hill but still crazy that there are AK-47's out there, and so close to our nice little hood.

Be safe out there ya'll! And hope the officer recovers fast.

UPDATE from the LAPD blog says that the shooter was a Montecito Heights resident named Jose Perez, 31. No apparent gang affiliation and will be going to prison for a long, long time. Unfortunately, doctors believe that they will not be able to save the rookie officer's near severed hand. Sad.

The Chief will give a press conference today at 10am to discuss his concerns about the rising number of firearm assaults on police this year.

Again. Go to bed to the sound of the ghetto birds last night. And again. Is that really part of Montecito Heights? 26th ave?

2 Dead In Montecito Heights StabbingFather Arrested On Suspicion Of Attacking Wife And Son

(CBS) MONTECITO HEIGHTS, Calif. A man was arrested on suspicion of fatally stabbing his wife and son in Montecito Heights on Monday night.

Police were called to 576 E. Avenue 28 just before 9:50 p.m., where three people were found with stab wounds.

Two of the injured people -- a mother and her son -- died from their stab wounds. The third person -- the husband and father of the victims -- was arrested on suspicion of having fatally stabbed them said Los Angeles police Lt. Lydia Diaz of the Hollenbeck Station.

The mother, a 40-year-old woman, was pronounced dead at the crime scene. Her 13-year-old son pronounced dead at the hospital.

The 42-year-old father and husband was treated at the crime scene and released into the custody of the Los Angeles Police Department, according to authorities.

I knew Jose Perez personally, he was a childhood friend of mine... I am still surprised this happened! But he got 75 years for his actions. Officer Tuck returned and patrolled the same area. I believe just recently he was moved to another area...
